Dracula: Gothic legend, vampire myth, and the birth of horror iconography

By Elizabeth Russell Miller

Transylvanian mystique and legendary hauntedness surround the most infamous Bram Stoker's protagonists, forming a legacy that allows the myth to continue into modern times, maintaining a cultish following, yet broadening to a general fascination. Intrigued by evil and gore, Stoker developed a literary presence that was effortlessly translated to screen by the likes of Murnau, Bela Lugosi, Christopher Lee and Francis Ford Coppola. Dracula became such an obsession as it embodied a taboo subject matter: the desire for blood and sex.

Filled with extraordinary pictures of the Count, his literary companions, and the movie idols, this is a treasure only to be read by daylight
